Chapter 196 – Mutation – 7

Kaiquilia kissed me.

As I realized that fact, my entire body stiffened. Sure, Floretta’s words had hit hard, but I never imagined she would go this far.

It seemed my pride had taken quite a blow.

Minerva was watching us wide-eyed from just behind. Our gazes met, her silver-white eyes locking onto mine. With a slight nod of her chin, she indicated I should keep going.

A smile bloomed on her face, one that hinted at her finding something very interesting. This must mean that Kaiquilia’s actions were unexpected.

ㅡWaaaah!

The grip on my collar tightened. Kaiquilia’s eyes bulged. It felt like she was asking where I thought I was looking. Once I lowered my gaze to meet her golden eyes, her intense stare started to subside a bit.

Even if I wanted to ask why she was doing this, I couldn’t just blurt it out. All I could do right now was feel the touch of our lips and continue the kiss.

“…….”

As my excitement began to cool down, I could sense Kaiquilia’s body trembling slightly. Our torsos were pressed close enough that I felt the sensation travel down my arm.

At first, I thought she was shaking just because of the anger Floretta had stirred up. But then I realized it was a bit strange for her to be trembling like this to calm down.

The shivering was too sporadic.

As I glanced at Kaiquilia again, a tongue slipped between her lips. Kaiquilia had pushed her tongue in.

ㅡFlinch!

At the same time, Kaiquilia’s body trembled even more violently.

The hand clutching my collar went limp, and the tongue that had pushed its way between our lips also spasmed noticeably.

It was an all-too-familiar trembling. I had mixed bodies with Lize, Floretta, Luna, and Aurora hundreds, perhaps thousands of times.

‘Oh?’

Wait, no way. A thought flitted through my mind.

Feeling that just because she stuck her tongue in was… really? Is that even logical? Kaiquilia isn’t Lize, after all.

‘…I can’t help but think it’s already too late to look for logic.’

The expression “logically speaking” had been losing its impact since I got possessed. I had long since realized that I was too far along to seek common sense.

‘No, but still…’

It was an absurd hypothesis, yet the way Kaiquilia’s body was trembling more intensely than before her tongue entered supported my thought. Her eyes, which were starting to flutter, were evidence of that.

After a moment of deliberation, I decided to test things out.

“Mmm, kuht?!”

I grabbed Kaiquilia’s rear firmly with both hands. Right after, a loud moan escaped through our pressed lips. Her thighs tensed up, and the hand gripping my collar instinctively tightened.

Pressing our bodies closer, I intertwined my tongue with the one in my mouth. I wasn’t sure if this was something to brag about, but I had certainly kissed enough times to know how to move in this situation.

I sucked on every corner of her tongue, and in return, I pushed my tongue into Kaiquilia’s mouth, caressing her gums and gently scraping the roof of her mouth.

With simultaneous stimulation to her rear and the inside of her mouth, the transmitted tremors intensified. It was undeniable.

Her golden pupils began to shake violently. Kaiquilia could hardly be lacking in knowledge about such things, so she would know better than anyone what sensations she was experiencing right now.

In fact, I could easily resolve this situation by commanding her to break the kiss and pushing her away. After all, her strength still surpassed mine.

But the reason she didn’t was definitely due to her fiercely strong pride.

How could she say she would handle me all on her own and then pull back? That was absolutely unthinkable.

“Hup… huh?!”

Continuously, moans escaped between our overlapping lips. Then, as I gripped her rear tightly, her pitch momentarily rose. Of course, it was all Kaiquilia’s moans.

My suspicions were correct. Kaiquilia was on the brink of climax. The tremors were persistent in her rear, between our lips, and in our entwined tongues.

All the poison that had once filled her golden pupils vanished at some point. The hand that had been gripping my collar was no longer clutching; it merely rested on my collar now.

The arm not gripping my collar was flailing uselessly, lost in confusion.

As my head started to get fuzzy, she’d instinctively wrapped her legs around my waist only to jerk away as if she had been burned.

‘…Is this really happening?’

Even though I initiated it, I felt just as bewildered. Lize had shown similar behavior a few times, but it was hard to believe this was happening with Kaiquilia.

It was as if her entire body was a sensitive area.

I grabbed each side of her rear and slightly pulled them apart. I could feel her thighs clenching tightly, reflexively responding to the movement. The breaths spilling between her lips became even more frantic.

I pressed myself even closer. Kaiquilia seemed to be approaching her limit. What had been little moans became heavy breaths that felt almost like gasps.

Finally, I bit her tongue lightly and, at the same time, squeezed her rear with all my might so her flesh was almost spilling out between my fingers.

“ㅡ!!!!!!”

Kaiquilia’s waist bent elegantly backward. Her body stiffened as if struck by lightning. Her tongue quivered so much that it stuck out in front of her.

After a few seconds passed in that state, she relaxed, her knees buckling. I held her rear so she wouldn’t fall. Her weight suddenly shifted toward me.

We broke the kiss. Kaiquilia buried her face in my chest, her head hanging low. How long had we been kissing? The scent of Kaiquilia still vibrated on my lips.

The hand that had been gripping my collar fell limply. Kaiquilia hid her face in my embrace, trembling all over, relying entirely on me.

I could easily guess her expression. The signal I had just received surely meant that Kaiquilia had reached her climax. She would either be slack in exhaustion or engulfed in shame—either option seemed likely.

The faint scent of peach faintly emanated from Kaiquilia’s body as she clung to me.

“Impressive, Child.”

Minerva smiled, seeing the sight of me gazing down at Kaiquilia, exhausted after the climax I had probably felt for the first time since the Empress had kissed me.

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you understand what it means to see that girl nestled in your arms?”

“……”

“Though, I must admit, I was a bit surprised myself.”

Minerva’s gaze flicked from Kaiquilia nestled in my arms to me, scanning me up and down slowly.

“Are you saying the Empress showed such a side?”

“That’s part of it, but…”

Our eyes met. It was the same gaze Kaiquilia had shown when she had forcefully kissed me, filled with curiosity.

“Just how skilled are you to make that stubborn girl act this way, I wondered. Can you understand?”

“……”

I felt like I had been recognized for something very strange.

While I was making a complicated expression, I heard the sound of clapping from behind.

I released my grip on her rear, and while pondering where to hold onto to keep her from falling, I turned my head. Floretta was quietly clapping her hands.

“Truly remarkable, Distinguished Guest.”

It was clear that Floretta wasn’t of a normal mental state either. She hadn’t been joking when she suggested that becoming ours together or practicing polygamy was entirely possible.

Minerva had taken an unusual interest in me, and while Floretta genuinely praised me, Kaiquilia, still in my arms, slowly lifted her head.

“Th-this insolent thing… how dare you… crawl up on me…”

Except for her stutter, her tone was quite similar to how Kaiquilia typically spoke, but with a face flushed with shame and the posture of being tightly wrapped in my embrace, she exuded no dignity whatsoever.

“…Let go of me. Right now.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

I released my hand from her waist. Kaiquilia gritted her teeth, forcing strength into her trembling legs and wiping her mouth, glistening with saliva, as she glared at me.

Usually, when I faced those golden eyes, I felt a shiver, but not now. I calmly accepted her gaze.

Technically, it was Kaiquilia who had initiated the kiss and put her tongue in; I merely reciprocated, but given the current situation, I chose to stay quiet.

“Did you achieve your goal, Your Imperial Majesty?”

Floretta stepped in for me. A gentle smile, radiant like the sun, still lingered on her face.
